Hi everybody. Im having a fitment issue with my bell binding up once i tighten up my pinion to the enclosed turtle racing carrier. Detroit performane has told me he has not heard of any issues. Obr says they need to be shimmed as they don't line up. Ive tried to shim it but still aint right.
My question is do these bells work with enclosed carriers or only open/vented carriers?
I plan to run in the sand so i needed a enclosed carrier to keep sand out of the clutch.

obr are right mate, they do need to be shimmed,
find out where it binds though, whether its the end of the bell or the step on the bell part itself,
add a bit of black marker in the carrier at certain points like on the alloy around the inner bearing and roughly where the step on the bell might hit, then fit bell and pinion and spin it, take apart and have a look for witness marks on the carrier,
if marks are at the bearing then shim out to suit,
if marks are where the bell itself catches then mod the carrier gently with a dremel and take a liitle off it till theres no binding (y),
it wont be much that needs taking off, probably a fraction of a mm or so i'd say,
also if it just needs shimming then don't over shim it, cos then it may just bind because theres pressure on the bearings when the pinions tightened down,
make sure the bearings are seated fully as well (y)
 
Ok. Thanks for the reply @spents. I will try again. It definitely has some rubbing to the carrier so i will try dremeling on the carrier to see if thats where my issue is. I was gonna try to buy the ufc bell and see if that was going to work but instead will try what you suggested. Saved me some 💰 .
